Chapter 955 954. Familiar Feeling (Asking for Monthly Votes)
The improvement of physical fitness allows Liu Mang to use those skills more freely and at a better time. Those skills can better play Liu Mang's improved physical fitness.
After Liu Mang broke through once, he felt that he was right! Although his strength was not directly improved, he could play better with the addition of skills!
It's not that the speed has become faster, but the rhythm of the breakthrough has changed!
When the Bulls saw Liu Mang's breakthrough, they suddenly thought of Wade. What's wrong with him? Is this guy still letting the Wizards go in the first round?
If they asked Liu Mang this, Liu Mang would not answer, but would only nod...
The Bulls attacked, Hinrich advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Eddy Curry, Rasheed Wallace and Kwame Brown immediately double-teamed him, Eddy Curry passed the ball to Chandler, Chandler's lob shot on the other side of the three-second zone... He was lucky and scored. The tallest height on the court was still useful. The high-altitude shot in the three-second zone was Chandler's only means on the offensive end.
During the transition from offense to defense, the Bulls retreated quickly, and Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt.
Hinrich did not command his teammates to change the defensive plan for the time being, and continued to defend Liu Mang at the three-point line.
"Hey..." Liu Mang shouted to Hinrich across the three-point line, and then said: "Kirk, do you know who has the fastest first step in the NBA?"
The fastest first step? Hinrich immediately thought of Wade, and suddenly Liu Mang in front of him moved!
This despicable villain! Beat me, a sophomore, and use words to distract me!
Hinrich was not distracted this time, and moved to the right at the first time, trying to block Liu Mang. Liu Mang's weight was limited, and he did not have as strong impact as Wade, but... he changed direction faster!
After Hinrich moved to the right, Liu Mang kicked his left foot hard and jumped to the right, throwing Hinrich away again and rushing to the three-point line!
The strongest first step is too fast! Liu Mang changed direction and broke through to the free throw line before his speed returned to normal, but he had already thrown Hinrich away!
Liu Mang didn't stop and rushed into the three-second zone. At this time, Chandler rushed over. Curry squeezed Kwame Brown under the basket. Liu Mang rubbed against Chandler and threw the ball into the basket...
The ball didn't go in, but Liu Mang was hit by Chandler. Liu Mang fell to the ground. He broke through so quickly, of course he had to commit a foul!
The referee whistled, and Chandler committed a foul!
Liu Mang stood up holding Kwame Brown's hand and frowned at Hinrich: "The player with the fastest first step is right in front of you!"
Hinrich was really scared this time. Liu Mang was really the same as the foul king he met in the last round. His first step was too fast!
It's impossible!
Sinrich and Liu Mang have played against each other for the ninth time in the past two years, and I have never seen Liu Mang's first step so fast!
This is harder to defend than Wade!
Wade doesn't have a three-pointer, but he can still take two steps back to let his teammates come over to double-team him. Because Wade is short, they can lock him and pass the ball to the outside line. But Liu Mang is different. Liu Mang is very good at three-pointers. He is the only shooter in NBA history who can make 300 three-pointers in a single season!
Hinrich's brain is a little out of order...
Liu Mang went to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily.
Then the Bulls attacked, and the teamwork was very beautiful. The Hawks paid attention to shrinking to defend Eddy Curry and Chandler's high-altitude shots. The Bulls' ball was transferred to Deng Yingqiao. Luol Deng saw a bunch of people under the basket and confidently chose to shoot a three-pointer!
Britain's Jordan... also Jordan, Jordan's three-pointer... 26% in his rookie season, and it was a miss.
The Bulls' offense and defense under the basket were strong, but the rebounding was very poor. Kwame Brown guarded the defensive rebound and passed the ball to Liu Mang.
Sinrich saw Liu Mang advancing, tried to calm himself, and made a defensive tactical gesture.
The other players of the Bulls were a little surprised when they saw this gesture, but they also saw Liu Mang's first step just now, and they immediately started to double-team him.
Liu Mang once again used his strongest first step to break into the three-point line, and was treated the same as Wade, Deng Yingqiao double-teamed him immediately!
Liu Mang had expected this, and the opponent had no other way but to double-team him. Liu Mang quickly passed the ball to Prince, who took the ball and shot an open three-pointer... It didn't go in, but Kwame Brown grabbed the offensive rebound! Then he passed it to Prince. Nocioni was originally going to grab the defensive rebound, but when he saw Prince receiving the ball, he immediately rushed towards Prince. Prince passed it to McGrady in the bottom corner, and McGrady took the ball and shot a three-pointer... Hit!
7 to 2! The Hawks led by 5 points!
It was the Bulls' turn to attack again. They were 5 points behind at the beginning, which was not much, but the pressure was too great! After passing the ball back and forth for a long time, the opponent's five starting players were all pretty good at one-on-one defense. Finally, the ball came to Luol Deng, the rookie with the strongest one-on-one ability among the Bulls' starting lineup.
Luol Deng held the ball and played one-on-one. His outside touch was not good. He chose to break through, squeezed Prince's defense to the mid-range, and forced a mid-range shot against Prince's defense...
"Snap..."
Prince has always been focused. Today, in order to help Liu Mang vent his anger, he played more seriously and fought hard! When Luol Deng picked up the ball and raised it to his chest, he slapped the ball with an accurate slap and stole it!
Prince grabbed the ball and immediately passed it to Liu Mang.
Not to mention, the defensive awareness and discipline of the Bulls' young army are really good. They did not rush to counter-steal and immediately retreated. Liu Mang was not in a hurry either. He pushed forward to the frontcourt and waited for his teammates to get into position.
Liu Mang still made the same move, dribbling with both hands, so that Hinrich could not prepare in advance.
Suddenly, Liu Mang broke through again in the direction of the weak side where Prince was!
"Ding... The strongest first step is triggered..."
Sinrich had already made a move in advance, but Liu Mang's change of direction was too fast, it was as if he didn't need his knees. Wade didn't dare to break through like this even though he exploded so fast!
The Bulls saw Liu Mang pass the ball once, but he was not as easy to make mistakes as Wade, and the double team didn't come up so quickly. When they shrunk in, Liu Mang had already rushed to the basket!
Chandler shrunk very actively, and only after shrinking did he remember the opponent's ability to commit fouls, but it was too late to dodge. His weight was too heavy and he couldn't stop the car...
Liu Mang caused Chandler to foul again, and this time he was prepared when he was knocked down, throwing the ball to the backboard, hitting the backboard and bouncing into the basket!
2+1!
Liu Mang also made the free throw!
10 to 2! The Hawks led by 8 points at the start.
And, Chandler had only played for less than 4 minutes and had two fouls!
Chandler is the pillar of the Bulls' inside defense!
The Bulls called a timeout!
Seeing Liu Mang start the game so aggressively, Hinrich suddenly remembered something...
Brother Ai Sijia!
Their city has been "named" by Liu Mang!
The fear of being dominated by 58 suddenly flooded into Hinrich's mind...
Writing in chapters is not good enough, I want to write another chapter, my friends can read it tomorrow...Write for a while, I can't sleep if I don't write more, I always feel like something is missing
